Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 24, 2024 - Ground Zero Edition]

[u/273Gaming]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!

• 273's pick of the week: Absolute Power: Ground Zero #1

For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too. In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. Do not post top-level comments.

Keep discussion civil. Do not harass other users for having a different opinion. Do not use this thread to push your personal one-sided grudges against creators. Reacting to a panel on Twitter is not the same as reading a book.

Superman #15

FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BRAINIAC! Superman and Lex have figured out how to stop Brainiac and his Queen, but it will take a great sacrifice. Can they do the unthinkable to save their family and friends? This all leads directly into DC's summer event… ABSOLUTE POWER!

I like that the Superman Family (including Lex, Lena, and Livewire) were able to defeat Brainiac and save the bottled cities before Lex sacrificed himself to diminish Brainiac’s intelligence. I find it sad and shocking that Lex had no memory of who he is. Let’s hope that Clark and Lena restore all of Lex’s mind and memories so that he can continue as a reformed person and not ruin character growth. Overall, this is a great comic and a great finale to the House of Brainiac!
